Dear Smelly boyfriend,

I was surfing around on Facebook awhile ago and I decided to click on mindless quizzes to pass my time when I clicked on this one that says Reasons to be Thankful for Your Partner.

Well, to be exact, it’s not much of a quiz. Just some things jobless people would do when they have too much time on their hands! All you have to do is put accordingly from the most important reason to the least important reason that you are thankful for your partner, and then the computer will generate how much alike are you to your friends who had taken that quiz.

Anyway, I scanned through and clicked on a few and when I tried deciding which ones are the more important ones, I realized that I couldn’t decide!

Initially, I placed “You never feel alone” at the top of the list because I feel that now that I’m with you, I’m hardly alone anymore. You bring me to places I’ve never been to, and you never leave me out of your friends’ gatherings. I like the fact that you’re almost always with me. And even when you are not with me, physically, you’re still with me. =)

Then I clicked on “They love you for who you are” because I know myself more than anyone else. I know, physically, I’m not attractive. I’m skinny, I’m yellow, my nose is flat, my chest is flat, my butt is flat! And character wise? Pppffttt.. I curse like there’s no tomorrow, I wish people death almost every single day, I screw managers at work and send hateful emails to assholes, even though it was totally unnecessary. I’m lazy, and all… Well, you get my drift, but you still stood by me all these while. You love me despite my flaws.

You complete me. You’re everything that I’m not! I’m clever, you’re stupid. I don’t smoke, you smoke. I’m a good girl, you’re a thug. I don’t lie, you lie as a living. BAH! YOU GET ME.

I was just randomly clicking and when I took time to read and consider each and every fact, I realized that they all make it to the top of my list.

I can always be myself around you, because you love me for who I am.

You always make me laugh with your silly ethics. And you have a way to twist myself around your little finger whenever I get mad at you. BAH.

Sometimes, little things you do can make me feel like the most fortunate girlfriend in the world! It’s the laptop you got for me because I wanted it. It’s the giving in to me because I wanted you to. It’s the staying with me because I needed you. It’s the ferrying me around because I’m lazy. I know you don’t say you love me every now and then, and I know action speaks louder than words. Well, I hear you loud and clear, because you make me feel loved.

I will never forget that once when we arranged to meet at City Plaza. When I was waiting for you, I messaged to complain that because you’re late, I became an ogle toy for assholes around the place. And when you arrived, you stormed up to me with your helmet in hand, demanding to know which asshole was making passes at me, and threatened to kill anyone in the 100 meter radius of me, who dared to even look my way.

Remember the time I let your jacket slipped into your rear wheel? How could you forget? =P I never felt any slight fear because I know you’ll direct me to safety; Because of the sense of security I have in you.

Even when we’re not talking about feeling physically secured, you still give me security in matters of heart because I know you’ll never cheat on me. =) I just know. (Except with Tristan *eyes roll*)

Sure we fight, but what was it compared to the good times we shared? Good times like when we’ll go to the Merlion Park, and you’ll get me chocolate ice cream without fail. Good times likes UFO-ing for Stitches! Good times like washing your bike together. Good times like me riding you on your bike, even for a few seconds. Good times like me trying to give you piggy back rides, and good times like everyday when we’re not fighting. =)

I share all my happiness and sadness with you. You’re like a confidant who will never abandon me. I complain, I cry, I laugh. You’re almost like a best friend. If what those kinda stupid friendship emails say are true “a good friend asks you for a drink, a best friend raids your fridge and makes a drink themselves“, then you must be one hell of a best friend!

And then as I read the last point about a partner being supportive, I thought about the message you sent me once, when I was crying over a stupid paper and telling you I wanted to give up. You tried talking me out of it and getting me to study, but I was so stubborn, I wouldn’t budge. That message that I still keep with me shows me how supportive you are of me. And you probably didn’t know that, but because of that message, I decided to put a LITTLE more effort into the non existent effort I had before in cramming for the test the next day.

Now you know, with all the reasons that I have to support the reasons that I am thankful for you, there’s not one in particular that I am most favour or one that is the least truthful.

Okok, I know. If  I really have to choose, my least favourite would probably be the one about you completing me.

Nah. I was kidding.

I know the reasons I gave were a little absurd, but hey, you do complete me. =)

And now I wanna let you hear a song that I’ve always wanted you to hear because every sentence in it was something I’ve always wanted to tell you. It’s freaking late to let you hear this song now, and you probably already know.. but, well… =)

Love, Nice Smelling girlfriend.
